Implementation Plan
Fitting To New CNS/ATM Environment

Airlines said:
Understand benefit of new CNS/ATM technologies, but
Our business is very sensitive to cost vs. benefit in nature
Retrofitting is too costly than expected benefit

Introduction of new aircraft is better solution than


retrofitting additional function one by one to the legacy aircraft

Airlines Expect:
New aircraft equip all possible foreseen function
for new ATM

SBAS Approach Specification
Currently, MRJ will have RNP APCH (with Baro-VNAV) and SBAS (WAAS) LPV
capability in the Basic Specification.
Both features are categorized in Approach Procedure with Vertical Guidance (APV)
which is capable of Vertical Guidance even though it is Lateral Guidance.
LPV is not Precision Approach (ILS, MLS, etc.) and is base on a RNP concept; however,
it is capable of accuracy greater than 40m for Vertical Guidance.

Avionics System Structure & BUSs
Display system consists of four large 15.1 LCD, a dual-channel DMC (Data Concentrator Unit
Module Cabinet) which interfaces with other systems, and two IPCs (Integrated Processing
Cabinet) which provide the switching hub function for ARINC 664 databus.
Displays, IPC and DMC are connected with avionics high speed databus (ARINC 664). Other
devices (navigation sensors, air data sensors, engine (FADEC), hydraulic system etc.) are
connected to DMC via ARINC429.
Digital Flight Data Recorder DFDR is connected via ARINC717
Solid state type recorder: Minimum recording time 25hr, Recording rate 512WPS*
DFDR complies with the latest FAA 14 CFR amendment, and is installed separately
from CVR. *WPS - Words Per Second

What Category of LPV?
Approach Procedure with Vertical Guidance (APV)
As per ICAO Annex 6 Part 1, APV is one of Instrument Approach Procedures (IAPs) and includes RNP
APCH w/ Baro-VNAV, RNP SAAAR, WAAS LPV, etc.
ICAO goal is to implement APV by 2016, either as the primary approach, or as a back-up for precision
approaches.
LPV is not necessary for ground infrastructure (ILS, MLS, etc.). It is fully suited for regional jet operations.

MRJ CNS System Concept

Communication Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) systems are strongly


desired to adopt next generation CNS/ATM technologies for regional jet
operations because these technologies enhance efficiency and safety of
flight.
On the other hand, CNS systems have to integrate so many equipments
from legacy radios to advanced technology components. All components
are equally high reliablity and oprability.

Our CNS system are highly integrated based on new ProLine Fusion system
However, each CNS components are carefully selected matured and well
field-proven components for guaranteed safety of flight.

The data link function provides VDL Mode A and Mode 2 capability.
Data link capability requires subscribing to a data link service provider.
(ACARS: Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System)
CPDLC (ATN) CPDLC software is added for 2-way data communication between pilot
and ATC. Current CPDLC is not applicable for FANS.
CPDLC requires 3rd VHF Comm/Data link (ACARS) option.

SATCOM with Swift For Satellite Communication capability, SATCOM transceiver,
Broadband Diplexer/Low Noise Amplifier, High Speed Transceiver and High Gain
Antenna are added.
It is possible to use ACARS and CPDLC data link in combination with
ACARS and IRS options. Extended overwater communications require
HF or SATCOM communication system.

HUD: For Improved Situational Awareness and Category II approach
Head Up Display capability, Overhead Unit (OHU), Combiner and HUD Graphics Card
System are added, and necessary to replace two AHRS with two IRS.
HUD is a flight information display system that presents information
as a collimated image that is focused at optical infinity so that the
pilot can simultaneously focus on the HUD image and outside the

SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation System)
SBAS (WAAS) improves position accuracy and availability. Its geostationary satellites
provide aircraft augmentation information which is processed with differential correction
and determines integrity using GPS frequencies.

MRJ designed to operate with signals from any SBAS developed to RTCA DO-229( ).

MRJ installed with GPS receiver and antenna which has the capability for three (3) types
of SBAS (WAAS in US, MSAS in Japan, EGNOS in Europe).

SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation System)
GPS receiver available for enrooted, terminal, and ocean RNAV and RNP operations.
However, greater accuracy and integrity is required for approach phases.
SBAS (WAAS) enhances and ensures GPS signal integrity to support ICAO/FAA
Required Navigation Performance (RNP) criteria.
MRJ has SBAS (WAAS) capability sufficient for RNP Approach, with Baro-VNAV
(greater than 0.3) and Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance (LPV) approach
as Cat I. RNP SAAAR is one of potential growth features for the MRJ.
LPV approved by FAA in 2003. Approximately 500 US airports per year are adding LPV.
LPV not necessary for costly ground infrastructure (ILS, MLS, etc.) and is much more
appropriate for regional jet operations.
